Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets: Current situation
All the good things the Suns had done in the first month of the season are now forgotten, as they find themselves outside of the Playoff picture in the West. At 14-14 this team has vastly underperformed, considering the amount of talent they have on their roster. However, with 54 games remaining there is still plenty of time to turn things around. Last season the Suns had a win pace of .600, this year that number looks very unlikely.
Slowly but surely, the Nuggets have reclaimed the 5th seed in the Western Conference thanks to 5 wins over their last 6 games. Nikola Jokic is once again the frontrunner to win the MVP award, which would be his 4th. He has not gotten the help we thought he would from the likes of Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon and especially Jamal Murray who has looked like a shadow of his past self. That makes Jokic’s MVP shout even more impressive, he is yet to have an all-star teammate in his career.
Phoenix Suns Stats & Form
Only Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal showed up for the Suns in Monday’s 27-point road loss in Denver. Both of them netted 23 points, but as a unit it was a struggle for Phoenix the entire game. Devin Booker did not suit up due to a groin injury, he is not expected back on Wednesday either. That means Kevin Durant will have to carry the Suns here. He is averaging 28.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 11 games played on Christmas Day.
Denver Nuggets Stats & Form
No starter played more than 30 minutes for the Nuggets on Monday as they allowed just 11 pts in the 4th quarter against Phoenix. Jamal Murray did not play, so Russell Westbrook jumped into the line-up contributing with 11 points and 7 assists. It was Denver’s 5th win in 6 games, they’ve also covered the spread in 4 of those games. Interestingly enough, their record in Wednesday games reads 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games played on that day.
Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets: Head-to-Head
The Nuggets won the 1st meeting of the season fairly easily, holding Phoenix to only 90 points on Monday. It was their 6th win in head-to-head meetings over the last 10 games played. The last 6 meetings between the two teams have been marked by low scoring, 5 of them have cashed on the under. In 193 regular season games played all time, Phoenix still holds a commanding 104-89 lead.
Phoenix Suns – Denver Nuggets Odds

Betting tip and prediction: Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets (25.12.2024)
Just 2 days after their meeting in Denver, the Nuggets and Suns run it back at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. Even with Kevin Durant back in the line-up, December has not been kind to the Suns who have just 2 wins in their last 8 games. Jusuf Nurkic also returned to the line-up, but he is still ways away from being in proper basketball shape. Going up against Nikola Jokic is a tough task even when you’re at your best, so the Nuggets have a very distinct advantage down low in this game. Not much should change when this series moves to Arizona on Wednesday. Phoenix has had major issues defending the three-ball lately, allowing over 42% efficiency to their last 3 opponents from deep. An experienced team like the Nuggets should be able to take advantage of that once again. Expect Nikola Jokic to have a field day scoring the ball here, Phoenix ranks just 21st in opponent points in the paint this season, allowing 49.6 per game. This will be the Serbian’s 4th game on Christmas Day in his career, so far he has averaged 28.5 points, 12 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game. Denver has won 2 in a row on this day, make it 3 on Wednesday. Let’s back the road team to cover the spread.
